|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
Industry-leading data management software now coupled with world's No. 1 data backup appliance
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – November 13, 2013 — /BackupReview.info/ — STORServer®, the leading provider of proven data backup solutions for the mid-market, announces today that it is now offering backup appliances built on CommVault® Simpana 10 data and information management software. As enterprises of all sizes continue to embrace turnkey systems to solve backup and recovery challenges, customers can deploy scale-out data protection in minutes with the STORServer appliance pre-configured and pre-tested with Simpana 10 software.
The STORServer Backup Appliance line, ranked number one in the world by analyst firm DCIG, is a family of purpose-built backup appliances designed specifically for the automation, performance and price-point demanded by growing companies. The appliance is composed of uniquely integrated hardware and software components in a quickly implemented, easy-to-use and fully supported solution. STORServer will also extend its reseller network and support services to provide point of sale and maintenance support for CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) customers.
Recognized as the industry leader in data protection software (by Gartner, Forrester and DCIG), CommVault has redefined enterprise backup and recovery by integrating data protection, intelligent archive and mobile access to speed recovery, reduce costs and simplify operations. Simpana software transcends traditional limitations of backup offerings and third-party point products by blending physical and virtual machine protection, hardware snapshots, workflow automation, endpoint protection, global deduplication, replication, search and intuitive reporting within a single platform. Gartner Inc. placed CommVault in the "Leaders" category of its 2013 Magic Quadrant of Enterprise Backup/Recovery Software.
"We're excited to offer our customers the world's best data backup appliance built on the industry's leading software platforms for data protection," said Bill Smoldt, President of STORServer. "We made the decision to expand our product offering because CommVault has taken a leadership role in the data protection industry, and it is in our customers' best interest to support the Simpana software. CommVault's growing market share comes as a natural fit for STORServer as we reach further into the enterprise."
"The key to unlocking value from business data begins with having an easy way to instantly protect, recover and access current and historical information," said David West, senior vice president of worldwide marketing and business development for CommVault. "Forward-thinking organizations now have more options to manage data differently with the integration of the Simpana software platform with STORServer's amazingly simple to deploy backup appliance."
The CommVault appliances will be available as options in the current STORServer product lines starting Nov. 15, 2013. The CommVault BA600 model is sized for IT shops, corporate departments or branch offices with 1-5 terabytes (TBs) of data. Appliances are also available in three of the Enterprise Backup Appliance models (EBA800, EBA1200 and EBA2200) and are ideal for customers with up to one petabyte of data to protect. Prices for the appliances begin at less than $10,000 with the addition of software offered in both capacity and client/application-based license options.
"The flexible data protection features of CommVault software and STORServer's dedication to offer a backup appliance for every environment will save our customers a lot of time and money," said Greg Jehs, director of data management for Meridian IT Inc. "We believe this new solution will radically simplify all aspects of data management and recovery for physical and virtualized infrastructure and the cloud."
"The STORServer Appliance, powered by CommVault Simpana software now gives us the flexibility to provide the best solution to meet the needs of any organization," said Chad J. Kuhar, vice president at Arkay Data Storage Solutions. "We can shorten the time it takes to provide full enterprise data protection, so that customers can focus their IT resources on creating value from the managed data."
The launch of the STORServer Backup Appliance, powered by CommVault, marks the first time the company has offered an enterprise data protection software engine other than IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM). STORServer has found success in taking IBM TSM, the data protection software leader for Fortune 500 companies, and bringing it to the mid-market. The company's appliance approach to backup removes costly implementation and lengthy installation common for getting enterprise data protection in place for mid-market operations. The full diagnostic support assures customers that appliance automation allows them to concentrate on their core business.
"STORServer's commitment to deliver service and appliances on IBM's proven hardware and software is stronger than ever with the delivery of our reengineered appliance models earlier this year," notes Smoldt. "Both IBM and CommVault offer the proven elegant enterprise data protection solutions that our customers want and need in today's competitive environment. In one sense, we're simply adding the ability to have a second engine on our appliance. In another sense, we're broadening our enterprise appliance reach with another robust data protection option."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) When the New York Giants made their run to the Super Bowl a year ago, a 99-yard touchdown catch and run by Victor Cruz against the Jets seemed to be the ignition point.
It was a play that woke up an inconsistent team and turned it into a power.
If the 52-27 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday turns out to be the victory that gets the Giants (8-5) going again, everyone is going to point to rookie David Wilson's 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as the play that sparked the run.
Wilson re-energized the Giants with his electrifying run just 15 seconds after New Orleans returned an interception for an early score, and he didn't stop there. The first-round pick from Virginia Tech also ran for 100 yards and two more scores and piled up a team-record 327 all-purpose yards in a breakout performance that allowed New York to maintain a one-game lead over Washington and Dallas in the NFC East with three games to play.
``He made some huge plays today when we needed it the most and some were unexpected,'' said Cruz, who added eight catches for 121 yards and a touchdown. ``We would watch him in practice just do amazing things, whether it be breaking plays or making some cuts that we only see guys that are Hall of Famers make. He's definitely the most athletic on the team and he made some big plays today.''
It's been a long time coming. Wilson showed potential in training camp but fumbled in Dallas territory in the season opener and spent much of the last two months in Tom Coughlin's doghouse. His role is probably going to pick up with Ahmad Bradshaw now iffy with an injury to his left knee.
``To come up and have a breakout game like this is an excellent feeling,'' said Wilson, who became the first NFL player to have 200 yards in kickoff returns and 100 yards rushing in a game. ``You want to have a good game every game. I went out there and my teammates went out there and we played great.''
Wilson wasn't the only one. Eli Manning chipped in with four touchdown passes. The defense forced four turnovers by New Orleans (5-8), including two interceptions by Stevie Brown, and the kickoff return team accounted for a team-record 287 yards.
``A win is always good and a win is always a confidence booster and for us to go out there and play a full, dominant game with all three phases of the game, I think that speaks volumes for this team and what direction we're headed,'' safety Antrel Rolle said.
The performance came hours after Washington and Dallas rallied to win, requiring New York to win to stay in first place.
The loss all but ended the playoff hopes of Drew Brees and the Saints (5-8), who dropped their third straight game and had a three-game winning streak against the Giants snapped.
``We've shown the resolve and the resiliency to never give up,'' Saints cornerback Jabari Greer said. ``We're not going to go that. This is football and sometimes you fall down. We fell down hard today. We're going to fight and never give up.''
Manning had TD passes of 6 yards to Martellus Bennett, 5 yards to Domenik Hixon, 25 yards to Hakeem Nicks and 10 yards to Cruz. Wilson scored on runs of 6 and 52 yards and hit 100 yards on only 13 carries for the biggest day of his short career.
The 52 points are the most for the Giants since scoring 55 against Green Bay in 1986. It also was the most given up by New Orleans, whose defense is run by former New York coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
``I wouldn't say we're fragile,'' said linebacker Jonathan Vilma, whose fate for the balance of the season might be decided Tuesday when former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue hands down a decision on his Bountygate suspension appeal. ``I wouldn't know what to call it. We're accustomed to finding ways to win. This year, we're just not good enough to overcome a lot of the mistakes. We have to be more conscious in games and more detail oriented in practice about how we handle our business on Sundays.''
Darren Sproles scored on a 13-yard run and caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Brees late in the third quarter, cutting the Giants' lead to 35-27.
However, Jerrel Jernigan returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to set up Manning's touchdown pass to Cruz. New York iced the game when Brown went 70 yards with his second pick to set up Lawrence Tynes' 39-yard field goal.
The afternoon seemed to take a bad turn for New York when Dallas rallied for a 20-19 win over Cincinnati and Washington beat Baltimore 31-28 in overtime despite losing Robert Griffin III to a knee injury. Elbert Mack then intercepted Manning in the left flat and returned it 73 yards to give the Saints a 7-0 lead.
Wilson turned it all around in a mad dash.
``Our concern for the next three weeks is the New York Giants and that's all we can focus on,'' said Manning, who completed 22 of 35 for 259 yards.
Brees, who had never lost to the Giants and had eight TD passes and no interceptions in the last two games, finished 26 of 43 for 354 yards.
NOTES: Hixon held the Giants single-season record for all-purposes yards at 303 in 2009. ... Wilson also set a single-season record for kickoff return yards with 1,301 yards. ... Brown has broken the Giants single-season record for interception return yards with 259 on seven interceptions. The old mark of 251 was set by Dick Lynch and Emlen Tunnell. ... Patrick Robinson had the Saints' other interception of Manning. Joseph Morgan has two catches for 106 yards for New Orleans.

As a follow-up to director Joe Carnahan's crazy action indie Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane, he chose to write and direct one of the grittiest, low down cop flicks in recent years, if not ever, Narc. It's the story of two cops (Ray Liotta and Jason Patric) investigating the death of one of their colleagues. The investigation leads them deep into the heart of Detroit's brutal drug trade (though most of the film was actually shot in Toronto). Each has their own heavy cop baggage and demons that they must tote with them through the brutal streets.
Over the years Carnahan has been linked to a number of high profile projects that have either vanished or come to fruition with other directors at the helm (ranging from Mission Impossible III to adaptations of Killing Pablo and James Ellroy's White Jazz with George Clooney). In recent years he made the overly hyper action comedy Smokin' Aces and the decent but forgettable restaging of TV's The A-Team. Narc has been the peak of Carnahan's career; it's the film that is still getting him attached to so many high profile projects. It showed so much potential; time will tell if he is ever able to match it in quality. He was able to bring an arresting visual style, emphasizing the cool blue streets of Detroit in winter (similar to the hues Steven Soderbergh shot Detroit with in Out of Sight). The city is made to feel frigid, not just in the air, but also in the hearts of the players on both sides of the law.Continue Reading

Binding a quilt with the quilt back
I made a doll quilt before Christmas and realized I'd never posted a tutorial on this quick and easy binding method. Since I know a lot of you are beginners…this is a really great way to dip your toes into binding a quilt. I especially love it for small things like hot pads, table toppers, or a mini quilt.
1. Baste your quilt. Normally I would cut the batting the exact same size as the quilt top…but in these pictures using this method was an afterthought. Believe me though…it's much much easier to start with the batting the same size as the quilt top!
2. Quilt like normal…except make sure none of your stitches go into the batting. Start and stop all of your quilting stitches on the quilt top and backstitch.
3. Carefully cut the batting away (if it was a bit larger than the quilt top). This is tricky if you've quilted to the edge…which is why I recommend keeping your batting the exact same size as your quilt top before you start. I've cut through many backings by accident doing this!
…and then in half again, and pin. You can do this on your ironing board and press it as you go…it makes it very simple. Fold all the way down to the next edge.
…and in half again to make a nice mitered corner. Pin it in place. You might have to play with the corner a bit, but once you actually do this it will make sense.
Continue until you've folded and pinned the binding around the whole quilt.
7. Sew it down using a walking foot, right along the edge of the binding. Sew to the corner and leave the needle in the fabric as you lift the presser foot and turn to go down the next edge. Easy as pie.
Now there are a couple of reasons I don't love this method:
1. It's hard to square up the quilt and keep the edges nice and straight. So I only use this on small things.
2. You have to plan so your backing fabric will also look great as your binding fabric.
3. If you quilt to the edge of your quilt top…you're going to see it in the binding of the quilt on the back. I normally wouldn't quilt to the edge using this method and instead quilt 1" away from the edge or so…but it was an afterthought with this little quilt.
And there you go…an easy way to do bindings! If you're a beginner who is mastering bindings…here's my other tutorial on a Machine Binding a quilt.

50 Quotes Americans Should Remember
The below was posted by Addicting Info and his a direct reproduction of their information listed here. None of the below was written by nor compiled by me. I found this link through a Google+ discussion and wanted to share.
1.) "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
~John F. Kennedy
2.) "We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both." ~Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
3.) "Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."
~John F. Kennedy
4.) "The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
5.) "I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil."
~Robert Kennedy
6.) "A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
7.) "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
8.) "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
9.) "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
~Abraham Lincoln
10.) "Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired."
~Robert Kennedy
11.) "It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."
~Hubert H. Humphrey
12.) "I believe that there should be a very much heavier progressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes."
~Theodore Roosevelt
13.) "To impose taxes when the public exigencies require them is an obligation of the most sacred character, especially with a free people."
~James Monroe
14.) "The supreme duty of the Nation is the conservation of human resources through an enlightened measure of social and industrial justice. We pledge ourselves to work unceasingly in State and Nation for … the protection of home life against the hazards of sickness, irregular employment and old age through the adoption of a system of social insurance adapted to American use."
~Theodore Roosevelt
15.) "The laboring classes constitute the main part of our population. They should be protected in their efforts peaceably to assert their rights when endangered by aggregated capital, and all statutes on this subject should recognize the care of the State for honest toil, and be framed with a view of improving the condition of the workingman."
~Grover Cleveland
16.) "It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize."
~Theodore Roosevelt
17.) "Today's so-called 'conservatives' don't even know what the word means. They think I've turned liberal because I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. That's a decision that's up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right. It's not a conservative issue at all."
~Barry Goldwater
18.) "The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance."
~Thomas Jefferson
19.) "Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
20.) "Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others."
~John F. Kennedy
21.) "America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal – to discover and maintain liberty among men."
~Woodrow Wilson
22.) "If capitalism is fair then unionism must be. If men have a right to capitalize their ideas and the resources of their country, then that implies the right of men to capitalize their labor."
~ Frank Lloyd Wright
23.) "I know of no safe repository of the ultimate power of society but people. And if we think them not enlightened enough, the remedy is not to take the power from them, but to inform them by education."
~Thomas Jefferson
24.) "While I am a great believer in the free enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment."
~Barry Goldwater
25.) "Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism."
~Hubert Humphrey
26.) "In our personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up or else all go down as one people."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
27.) "As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
~George Washington
28.) "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism – ownership of government by an individual, by a group."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
29.) "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost."
~Ronald Reagan
30.) "Only a fool would try to deprive working men and working women of their right to join the union of their choice."
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
31.) "We establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are and must remain separate."
~Ronald Reagan
32.) "Taxes, after all, are dues that we pay for the privileges of membership in an organized society."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
33.) "Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
~Dwight Eisenhower
34.) "The Social Security Act offers to all our citizens a workable and working method of meeting urgent present needs and of forestalling future need. It utilizes the familiar machinery of our Federal-State government to promote the common welfare and the economic stability of the Nation."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
35.) "Few nations do more than the United States to assist their least fortunate citizens–to make certain that no child, no elderly or handicapped citizen, no family in any circumstances in any State, is left without the essential needs for a decent and healthy existence. In too few nations, I might add, are the people aware of the progressive strides this country has taken in demonstrating the humanitarian side of freedom. Our record is a proud one–and it sharply refutes those who accuse us of thinking only in the materialistic terms of cash registers and calculating machines."
~John F. Kennedy
36.) "But let us begin. Now the trumpet summons us again – not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need – not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"- a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself."
~John F. Kennedy
37.) "We all agree that neither the Government nor political parties ought to interfere with religious sects. It is equally true that religious sects ought not to interfere with the Government or with political parties. We believe that the cause of good government and the cause of religion suffer by all such interference."
~Rutherford B. Hayes
38.) "The divorce between Church and State ought to be absolute. It ought to be so absolute that no Church property anywhere, in any state or in the nation, should be exempt from equal taxation; for if you exempt the property of any church organization, to that extent you impose a tax upon the whole community."
~James A. Garfield
39.) "You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break."
~Harry S. Truman
40.) "I think that being liberal, in the true sense, is being nondoctrinaire, nondogmatic, noncomitted to a cause but examining each case on its merits. Being left of center is another thing; it's a political position. I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they're not liberal, by my definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen."
~Walter Cronkite
41.) "No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level – I mean the wages of decent living."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
42.) "Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation."
~John F. Kennedy
43.) "For all my years in public life, I have believed that America must sail toward the shores of liberty and justice for all. There is no end to that journey, only the next great voyage. We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make."
~Edward Kennedy
44.) "We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security."
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
45.) "Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
46.) "The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations."
~Noam Chomsky
47.) "The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are working people. So long as their fair demands – the ownership and control of their livelihoods – are set at naught, we can have neither men's rights nor women's rights. The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease."
~Helen Keller
48.) "I like to pay taxes. With them, I buy civilization."
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
49.) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me.

Millersville man filmed touching girl, police say
Police say suspect's wife helped them setup hidden camera
More charges will be filed against a Lancaster County man accused of sexually assaulting a teen after some of the incidents were caught on tape, according to police.
The district attorney's office said it plans to charge Leon Tadych with three counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and one count of statutory rape.
Police said Tadych's wife asked them for help when she got suspicious. She helped them set up a hidden camera in the living room of their Millersville home that caught her husband inappropriately touching the girl at least a dozen times between Nov. 20 and Tuesday.
Tadych, 48, is already facing 36 charges, including 24 felonies, in the case.
He is accused of sexually assaulting a girl when she was 14 and the abuse continued when she turned 15 last month, police said.
The assaults happened in Tadych's home in the 100 block of North Duke Street in Millersville, police said.
Tadych admitted being in love with the girl, according to court documents.
He is in Lancaster County Prison with bail set at $250,000.

Newbie here, [albeit 64 with a 40 year old music degree] so appologies if this is the wrong place.
Q: how can I convert ABC notation to good quality PNGs? Must I get to grips with abcm2ps and ghostscript? or is there a simpler solution? I currently use EasyABC which I find excellent; simple, intuitative [to use! did not require me to r.t.f.m], produces instant notation, plays midi, transposes etc but seems only to output an ABC file in which I can't find separate images stored.
I want a PNG because they re-size automatically and well in Word and other documents and are mostly clear, good quality images. Those generated by abcnotation.com are excellent but I usually want to edit, transpose etc the underlying notation so usually can't use them. The PNGs generated by folkinfo.org are little better than jpegs for some weird reason and JPEG is the only output from concertina.net. 'Not good enough' as far as I am concerned means zigzaggy beams as in the image.
Thanks for any help, advice.

In this project, you will learn the basics of how JavaScript functions can be written to work with HTML FORM elements. Specifically, you will be working with HTML INPUT elements, and using JavaScript's built-in parseValue() and basic math functions.
PreliminariesThese are things you need to know before you get started.
- You'll need to write your file with a text editor, which is a program that can save plain text files. The "Notepad" program that comes with Windows will do just fine. You should not use a word processing program (e.g., Word), because word processors do not save files as plain text by default.
- JavaScript is a programming language for web pages, so the HTML file you will be
writing is like a simple web page. Here is the basic format of an HTML file:
[Title and JavaScript functions go here.]
[The parts you want to appear on the page go here.]
- For practice, try using your text editor to write a very simple HTML file like
the one below. (You can write it yourself, or you can copy and paste from your browser
to your text editor.)

<TITLE>Hello, world!</TITLE>
Hello, world!
- Use your text editor to save the file. Call it something like "HelloWorld.html" (when choosing a name for your file, always end the name with ".htm" or ".html").
- Now open your HelloWorld.html file with your browser. In your browser, use the "File" menu, and choose the option "Open..." (for Firefox, choose "Open File..."). Using the controls in the File Open dialog box that pops up, navigate to your file and select it. In Windows, you can also open the file by right-clicking it, selecting "Open with..." and then choosing a web browser from the list of available programs. You should see "Hello, world!" on both the browser title bar and on the body of the page.
Writing a JavaScript Calculator
To help get you started, here is an example of a JavaScript calculator that adds two numbers. This is just one of many ways to accomplish this task. You can use this example as a basis for your program, or you can start from scratch. If you build from this example, you will need to add functions and buttons for subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Simple Adder
Here is the JavaScript source code for the simple adder. After you have gone through the JavaScript tutorial (above), you should be able to read through this code and understand what it is doing. Note that the two methods for denoting JavaScript comments are different than the method for HTML comments:

The Falling Ball Viscometer is based on the Höppler principle which is used to measure the viscosity of Newtonian liquid by measuring the time required for a ball to fall under gravity through a sample-filled tube that is inclined at an angle. The average time of three tests is taken; the result is converted into a viscosity value using a simple formula.

Was 2013 the Run-Up to Nineteen Eighty-Four?
Dec 23, 2013 5:00 AM PT
As we approach the end of the year, it is time to look back on 2013 and consider what we've learned about technology and human nature. Both Apple and Dell were massively changed; HP, Yahoo and other companies were in various stages of being turned around; and Google went from a company that wanted our private information to one that wanted our jobs.
The U.S. government decided, through the NSA, that laws don't apply to it. Those who brought this to our attention (Manning and Snowden) got bigger punishments than the folks in government breaking the law. In 2013, the U.S. government became the least productive in history, with its biggest accomplishment shutting itself down.
Rather than ranting about all the screwups, I'll focus instead on lessons learned.
I'll close with my product of the week: a new blended office smartphone headset from Plantronics that could be ideal for folks working from home.
Obama Wasn't the Tech President
We had great hopes for President Obama and technology, but they proved to be misplaced. What gave us these hopes was the brilliant way he used technology to win elections, but that brilliance didn't translate into actually running the government.
His signature Affordable Healthcare program was crippled by the technology behind it; the NSA illegally used technology against U.S. citizens; and the data center at the core of the NSA mess kept crashing, which means its program wasn't really working anyway.
The lessons learned are that if you have a fantastic team, keep it together and focus it on other critical pursuits. Make sure your internal information mechanisms are reporting to the office of the CEO effectively, so that the CEO is aware of problems and not constantly blindsided (Obama was unaware of both the Healthcare.gov and the NSA issues until too late).
Make sure there is a strong internal process for reporting bad activity so that employees don't feel the need to go directly to Wikileaks.
Apple's Angst
As anticipated, Apple stock cratered this year largely because Steve Jobs was not effectively backfilled. This is a repetitive problem when an iconic CEO leaves a company, and it is adversely impacting Microsoft's CEO search.
The board needs to fully analyze why a company is successful. As much as we talked about magic surrounding Apple's success, it wasn't magic -- it was the result of a uniquely strong team that focused like a laser on margins and customer satisfaction. There are actually better ways to do much of what Apple did, but instead of using Jobs' departure to improve Apple, the apparent inability to understand Apple's success led the firm down what still appears to be a decline similar to the one that occurred the first time Jobs left.
This goes outside Apple, because if you truly understand why a company wins, then you can emulate it and create a much more successful firm yourself. I'm still bothered by the fact that both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs never would have been hired into Microsoft, Apple, or most other firms when they started their own companies.
The interesting thing to watch for next year is Lenovo's experiment to use Ashton Kutcher as a Steve Jobs-like character. The guy has actually been rather astute with technology investments, and unlike the other celebrities I've seen in similar roles, he really has rolled up his sleeves and gotten into the development process. If this works, it'll be one for the textbooks.
We also learned that the effectiveness of attack ads isn't limited to politics. They work on vendors, too. Both Samsung and Microsoft attacked the view that iProducts were the ideal, and they did damage. Of the two firms, Samsung got the most benefit, but Surface 2 tablets have been selling out, of late, suggesting Microsoft is doing better as well.
Google's Grandiosity
Google showcased that it could pretty much do anything it wanted and get away with it. It survived stealing information from large numbers of people and even survived stealing from Apple. The NSA's efforts overshadowed its own, though.
Google put self-driving cars on the road and didn't get sued into next century (yet). Now it's working on robots that would displace Google users' jobs. I still think it has a death wish, but it is kind of amazing how hard it has to work to commit suicide. It will certainly change the world, in any case, and we should likely be prepared to bow to our coming Google masters.
I remain fascinated by the difference between Intel and Google, though. While Intel focuses on ensuring technology is used to benefit humans, Google appears to be on a hell-bent mission to see if Terminator actually will become real.
However, Google clearly showcased that when we called Microsoft "the Evil Empire," we clearly didn't have a clue. Where is Luke Skywalker when you need him?
Dell's Disappearance
Dell showcased that even a very large public company actually could go back to being private. The massive increase in pressure from stockholders that drive CEOs to do stupid things like Mark Hurd did at HP often have me questioning why firms go public in the first place.
Google has found a way to isolate itself from stockholder pressure for now, but I imagine most public company founders look back longingly to their private days when things were far simpler.
There was a path back for Dell, and painful as it was, it was also successful. I had a chance to talk to Michael Dell this month, and going private has both freed up more than a billion dollars in profit and removed the shackles that were constraining him.
He can now make big bets and seems much happier, and the Dell employees generally seem much happier as well. I'll bet there are a ton of other CEOs who are now wondering if their lives and their firms' profitability could be improved by similar moves.
Given the aggravation Carl Icahn is causing for Tim Cook, I'll bet Tim wishes he could go private, even though he isn't an Apple founder. If Jobs were still running Apple, I'd bet he would find a way to take the company private -- or at least explore a path that would take it in Google's more protected corporate direction.
Jobs really didn't think much of most analysts, and having them in a position to tell him what to do likely drove him nuts.
Wrapping Up: An Interesting Year
There is a Chinese curse that translates into something like "may you be born in interesting times" that reflects the pain that comes with change. 2013 was an interesting year; we experienced a massive amount of change -- some of it very good and some kind of scary.
Most troubling is the path we seem to be on to emulate the book Nineteen Eighty-Four, with either the U.S. government or Google as Big Brother. In that battle, I'd likely back Google, because at least it is competent -- but it would be an ugly choice. Anyway, something to noodle on over the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas!
Product of the Week: Voyager Legend CS
I'm a big fan of the Voyager Legend mobile phone headset. It is elegant and simple, and it has bidirectional noise cancellation, which makes both outgoing and incoming sound cleaner and easier to understand.
It sits comfortably behind the ear, and it has days of battery life. The problem is, I'm always having to switch between cellphone and desktop wireless headsets, which I find annoying.
Well the Voyager Legend CS fixes this. It bridges your desktop and mobile phone so you can use one headset to connect to both phones.
At some point, we'll likely stop using regular office phones and live off our smartphones. I'll bet BlackBerry figures this out first. Until then, the Voyager Legend is an excellent bridge, and that's why it's my product of the week.

After weeks of seeing leaked images and specifications of the device, we now have confirmation that HTC is releasing their flagship Android device, the HTC One M8 in a Windows Phone variant. The HTC One (M8) for Windows was announced on August 19 as a Verizon wireless exclusive.
Even though Samsung's Ativ SE was similar to their Android devices, the HTC One for Windows is the first true "clone" of an Android device running Windows Phone. Recently, Microsoft made it possible for OEMs to build Windows Phone hardware on their Android device chassis by relaxing the guidelines and minimum specifications in their reference design. One of the key changes made were relaxing the requirement to have three physical buttons on the front (Back, Start, Search) and to have a physical button for the camera. With those restrictions lifted, and adding support for accessories like cases to interact with the phone, as well as widespread support for Bluetooth LE and the like, the road was cleared for OEMs to re-purpose their devices for Windows Phone with minimal changes. An additional key barrier removed was the license fee for Windows Phone which went to zero dollars.
The impact of these relaxed guidelines was the signing of a dozen-odd new OEMs, primarily in the Asia-Pacific and India regions. These current low-cost Android device makers would now be able to put Windows Phone on those low-cost Android devices. These device makers are of course playing in the high volume markets where a large population of feature phone users are moving to their first smartphone. It is therefore crucial for Microsoft to have a significant presence in the region or risk being completely cut out of the next big platform play.
Back to the HTC One for Windows, it comes with all the goodness we have seen in the Android variant like HTC BlinkFeed, HTC BoomSound, Duo Camera with UltraPixel technology, a 5MP wide-angle front-facing camera and support for the HTC Dot View case. Additionally, the Windows Phone 8.1.1 OS adds Cortana, the personal digital assistant and a host of other features as I detailed in an earlier post.
Key specifications for HTC One (M8) for Windows
SIZE: 146.36 x 70.6 x 9.35 mm
WEIGHT: 160 grams
DISPLAY: 5.0 inch, Full HD 1080p

- micro-USB 2.0
- Microsoft Project My Screen
- Miracast
- Support consumer infrared remote control
Duo camera
- Primary camera: HTC UltraPixel™ camera, BSI sensor, pixel size 2.0 um, sensor size 1/3", f/2.0, 28mm lens
HTC ImageChip 2

Secondary camera: capture depth information
Front camera
- 5MP, f/2.0, BSI sensor, wide angle lens. with HDR capability, 1080p Full HD video recording
- Gallery with UFocus™, Dimension Plus™, Foregrounder
HTC's previous stab at Windows Phone, the HTC 8X/8S, was a well-designed phone which got no love at all after being released. Let's hope, for the sake of Windows Phone, that this iteration gets some marketing push as well as support in terms of future updates.
Are you going to get this device? Let me know in the comments.

Binding Of Isaac Blocked From 3DS Due To "Questionable Religious Content"
Bad news for anyone who was looking forward to playing the bloody indie sensation Binding of Isaac on 3DS: This dungeon crawler from Super Meat Boy creator Edmund McMillen apparently won't be coming to the handheld following a decision by Nintendo.
McMillen tweeted the unfortunate announcement late yesterday. In a follow-up tweet, McMillen confirmed that the decision was "due to the games 'questionable religious content.' He then took the opportunity to praise Steam for being such an open and supporting platform for independent and digitally distributed games.
Nintendo has not issued any public statement on this decision and isn't likely to, but I will say that I for one am disappointed if this is true. Sure, I can understand Nintendo asking that the game go through proper ESRB rating, but beyond that shouldn't the consumers who paid money for the 3DS be able to decide what they are comfortable purchasing and playing?
If you haven't played Binding of Isaac on PC yet and want to know why you should be annoyed with this decision, check out our review by Adam Biessener.

Corning Optical Communications LLC, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, introduces its RPDpass® Indoor Multidwelling Unit (MDU) Solution. Designed for quick connection of riser segments and drop cables in medium- and large-sized MDUs, the solution includes components that give customers maximum configurability, while increasing deployment velocity.
The RPDpass Indoor MDU Solution uses an MTP® Connector-enabled riser segment to connect the main distribution terminal and floor distribution terminals. Innovative storage capabilities, either in the basement- or floor-distribution hardware, allow for a complete plug-and-play approach without cable slack storage concerns. Either MTP or single-fiber SC connectivity inside the floor distribution allows cost-effective routing of the final drop cable to each end customer.
The RPDpass MDU Solution includes several new components designed specifically for the MDU environment:
- RPDpass Indoor Drop Cable Assemblies consist of six, eight or 12 individually color-coded and numbered 1.65 mm interconnect cables helically stranded in an easy-access connectorized bundle. Once in place, individual drop cables can be easily accessed for separate service drops to the apartment optical network unit.
- RPDpass Indoor Riser Cables are available in 12- or 24-fiber cables with connector combinations of six, eight or 12 at the floor level. Low-loss MTP Connectors ensure minimal impact to link-loss budgets. The cable can be shipped on a collapsible reel that integrates into the distribution terminal for simple slack storage.
- The OptiSheath Riser Distribution Terminal features interchangeable panels and modules for flexibility within the MDU. MTP panels and MTP/SC modules allow for 36- and 24-fiber capacity, respectively. Once the riser assemblies are deployed, the distribution terminal contains an innovative storage option for the slack cable.
- The OptiTect Indoor CE Cabinet provides splitting and fiber management for up to 288 fibers. With multiple mounting options and the option of MTP connectivity, the indoor cabinet offers various configuration options and accepts both LS and Gen III splitter modules.
The new solution will be on display in Corning Optical Communications' exhibit (booth #103) at the FTTH Conference & Expo, Sept. 23-27, in Dallas.

A few points of armour only protects against small-arms, it does very little against spacecraft weapons, yet the tonnage cost is not insignificant.
Carrying more fighters would be a better defence.
They can be the most efficient choices.
The point of armor is to hinder damage. Your position is the one that is currently at play with most naval architects today - why bother with any armor if you can't really protect yourself. Indeed, if you can eliminate the chance of anyone hitting you by keeping them away (or intercepting the incoming fire), there is no need for armor. But experience tells us that this idea isn't always the wisest of choices. Whether the incoming fire is from missiles, or shells (or lasers), armor does have value, and it can effect the course of battle.AnotherDilbert wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 4:49 pmThey can be the most efficient choices.
Even the damage from a light fighter is barely hindered by light armour. Even heavy armour does not make you immune, but it significantly reduces damage.
I'm arguing on the basis of the MgT2 combat system. It does not work the way you seem to think it should.
Most ships at this scale are 8 weeks tops and can be extended by dromedary ships if needed.Very tight accommodations and little cargo space makes for very short mission endurance?
I hate the cheese that comes with this, would be nice to fix the calculations to prevent this sort of thing.It could save some space and money with a TL12 PP with 3 × Reduced Size.
Another peeve of mine is the general application of the Enhanced Signal Processor to Ewar situations, as both ecm and signal processing should be specializations.It could get much better sensor performance (+1 to +5) by exchanging the Countermeasures Suit for a Enhanced Signal Processor, and even get better ECM performance, although at a cost of MCr 4.
I tend to favour that weight class, but I was trying to see if I could pack more launchers available within the constraints of the carrier platform.A 35 Dt fighter with a missile barbette would launch more missiles per Dt or per MCr, so have higher combat value.
Since the missile's electronics handle the attack roll and not the pilot, its not even needed.It could even launch missiles without penalty.
Allows interception further out from the fleet and the ability to disengage, not to mention can trade thrust for defense. ( Also the reason for evade/3)Does it even need a reaction drive?

Although we are still in the middle of summer, although it's 92 degrees (33 C) outside and my feet are feeling bigger and bigger from the heat, I have this weakness lately for soups. Yes, soups. I can't explain it but every time I see a new soup recipe I get all excited and run to the kitchen to start dicing, pouring and stirring. In the past two weeks, we had three different kinds of soups and I think my daughter is planning a strike along with her father behind my back.
The funny part about it is that I used to hate soups when I was a kid. I always associate it with my mother praising the merits of her extremely hot vegetable soup to heal our cold and flue. "The hot soup will go through your veins and you will feel much better," she tells us.
We didn't believe her story of veins, although it would have been funny to imagine it: "hot soup coming through! Watch out blood!" But still we really thought for years that it was our mother's soup that cured us. Or maybe it really was!
Now, I make soups because I love them. They are easy, comforting, always versatile, and did I say easy and quick to make.
I made this pea, basil and feta soup a week ago when I spotted it on Wendy's blog. It sounded so fresh and summery and Wendy's writing about the sweetness of her garden peas convinced me even more to try it. Actually I didn't need a lot of convincing.
The soup is wonderful on its own but I wanted to add a little bit of crunch to it by adding some croutons and instead of using plain feta I used my favorite marinated feta, along with the olive oil that it has been marinating in. I added one potato to the soup because I wanted it to have more body. Wendy added the feta at the end but being a feta lover, I added half of it before blending it and added the rest on the croutons.
This soup is already a favorite at home. It's not only lovely but it also runs through your veins to cool you down and make you fell better. Trust my veins.
Pea, Feta and basil soup
Recipe: Serves 4
- 14oz frozen peas
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic clove, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
- A big handful of basil leaves
- 3 ½ oz marinated feta cheese, drained or plain feta
- Croutons
- Sal, pepper
In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil. Add the onions then the garlic and let it cook until tender but not browned. Add the peas and potato and stir. Pour the stock or water and bring to a boil. Let it cook on medium heat, with the lid on for 15 min or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Remove from the heat and add the basil leaves and stir. Leave the soup to cool a bit before pouring it into the blender. Add half the feta cheese to the pea soup and blend until smooth. Taste the soup then season with salt if needed and pepper.
Brush the croutons with the olive oil from the marinated feta then broil for a few minutes until brown. Serve the soup with croutons, each topped with crumbled feta.

Passer votre soupe au mixeur avec la moitie du fromage feta jusqu'a ce que votre soupe devienne veloute. Gouter la soupe et ajouter le sel si necessaire, car la feta est naturellement salee. Poivrez.

LAS VEGAS – If you read my story on the Navia driverless bus shuttle in Friday's Chronicle, you might have wondered what happens when someone steps in front while it's moving. Here is a Shaky Hand Video I shot of one 2014 International CES attendee putting his life on the line to find the answer to that question:
Well, OK, the Navia wasn't setting any land speed records, but it did stop.

I have more than 10 years teaching... experience, both face-to-face and online to individual as well as to small and large groups. At the moment I am teaching Italian in a private school in Sofia, Bulgaria- where I lived for more than 10 years. I teach English to students ready to move to English speaking countries for work, and to students who need Еnglish for their career. I also prepare students for exams (KET, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE), and I offer language courses for communication and travelling purposes. I attended the College (tourism) in Lucca-Italy. I have a diploma in Secretarial and Business Administration from the South Kensington and Chelsea Collage in London- (I lived in London few years ago). I have a TEFL certificate -grade A. and an ECL certificate in Bulgarian C1 with 96/100. Therefore, I have a good knowledge of how languages work and I can provide my students with helpful insight. Teaching is my passion, and I am constantly in search for new methods to help my students to get through the challenges and the difficults when learning a new language. I am an enthusiastic, dedicated and adaptable teacher. I always use the communicative method in my teaching and I try to make my students feel comfortable by creating a funny and relaxed environment. I hope to see you soon in one of my classes! Read more
Very experienced teacher!
Hello, My name is Zlatko. I believe that learning Bulgarian online with me gives you the best of both worlds: fast progress and enjoyment.Taking... on the challenge to learn a new language is impressive. The reasons might be different. Some people give it a go because they just like new things. Others need to learn a new language because they are moving to a country where the language is spoken. Remember that whatever your reason is, it is your motivation that is the key to successful learning. Who am I and why to pick me: - online and face-to-face teaching experience: over 15 years helping hundreds of students achieve their language goals - flexibility: willing to tailor my techniques to both your interests and specific needs - patience and excellent listening skills - honesty and collaboration: let's build trust and consider our work as a partnership - native Bulgarian speaker with oustanding educational background - sense of humour Material All lessons are interlinked to promote better and more memorable learning, with the flexibility to pick out key sections to focus on certain language points. All language is clearly signposted and scaffolded so there is great clarity of progression of learning - students can really feel they are getting somewhere. In general, my teaching style includes, but is not limited to: - speaking practice through role-play activities - stotytelling and discussions - gap filling excercises - listening comprehension - vocabulary development - accent reduction How does that grab you? If interested, drop me a line and we will discuss your language goals and expectations. I OFFER a 15 MINUTE TRIAL LESSON TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT MY TEACHING METHOD LOOKS LIKE. Hope to see you soon. Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of every lesson: 1. Review what you covered in your previous lesson. 2. Focus on things you had difficulty with. I will definitely go over them. 3. It is always a great idea to take notes during your lessons. It helps you stay more focused on what you are learning. 4. Feel free to ask me if anything has come up since your last lesson that you want clarification on. Your questions do not have to be prior lesson related, maybe you are just curious about how to say something. 5. Be sure you have completed your homework assignments. If you were not able to complete them, make notes about what stumped you. Were the instructions not clear enough, was the vocabulary beyond your level of comprehension, were the grammar rules too overwhelming, was there too much homework for the time you had planned to spend on it, and so on. 6. Contact me prior to your next lesson if there are any issues or changes you would like to make me aware of so I can have a chance to make changes to your learning plan. I look forward to seeing you in my lessons. Read more
Very experienced teacher!
Hi there, I am glad to meet you. First of all, let me congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. In your case this is... Bulgarian. My country, Bulgaria, is a beautiful country with nice and hospitable people. It is an ancient land with a great history and rich culture. Having learned our language you will be able to get in touch freely with our good people and country. I come from the town of Vidin, Bulgaria. I am a qualified English and Bulgarian teacher. I graduated back in 1972 from Sofia University with an MA in English Philology and Bulgarian Philology as a second subject. Since then I have spent most of my professional career teaching Bulgarian students. First of all, we will have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice! Cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey to learn Bulgarian. Read more

Brookstone in Cary, NC, is just east of NC Highway 55, and south of the Westpark neighborhood.
The location is excellent, as it offers an easy commute to Cary, Durham, Apex, or the Research Triangle Park, nearby schools, proximity to various shopping and service options for daily needs, yet Brookstone is tucked off the main highways so residents experience low traffic and quietude.
Brookstone was developed in the mid-1990's by Centex Homes. Home sizes tend to range from about 2100 square feet to about 4,000 square feet. Transitional features like two story foyers, nine foot ceilings, sweeping vaulted ceilings, and open floor plans are common.

When we last saw Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), he had just emerged from a portal to another dimension after saving New York from an alien threat in Joss Whedon's "The Avengers."
When we last saw Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), he had just emerged from a portal to another dimension after saving New York from an alien threat in Joss Whedon's "The Avengers."
Because of this trauma, he's a changed man in Shane Black's "Iron Man 3," which picks up Stark's story where Whedon left off. While Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) runs his company, Stark buries himself in his work, tinkering with his endless array of Iron Man suits. His old pal, James Rhodes (Don Cheadle), is carrying out America's missions at home and abroad as Iron Patriot, a kinder, gentler rebrand of his old moniker, War Machine. But the world is a much darker place after the events of "The Avengers."
A terrorist called The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) has been indiscriminately bombing civilian targets in an effort to teach an insane lesson to the American people. But despite his public gloating over his terrorist activities, the methods of his madness remain unknown, with authorities unable to uncover any trace of the explosives that were used. When The Mandarin's attacks hit close to home, it becomes a personal vendetta for Stark, who sets out to put a stop to his evil once and for all. But in doing so, he uncovers a plot much bigger than he could have possibly imagined, one that will put not only his life, but the life of everyone he loves, in danger.
Things are a bit different in the world of Iron Man for this third outing (fourth if you count "The Avengers.") Director Jon Favreau has been replaced by Black, although Favreau still appears as Stark's faithful former bodyguard, Hogan. The biggest change, however, is the tone.
"Iron Man 3" is a much darker film than its predecessors, without sacrificing the humor we have come to expect from the series. While not quite as dark as Christopher Nolan's "Batman" films, Black brings something grittier to the table that is very interesting. It is especially timely coming out so close to the Boston bombings, as it deals very explicitly with a new form of terrorism in a world accustomed to real-life villains with larger than life presences — Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc.
Black takes us away from the "Rock 'em, Sock 'em" robots aesthetic of the first two "Iron Man" films and gives us something that is a bit more of a battle of the minds. Black also stages some of the series' most bruising action sequences, topping anything we've seen in the last two films and rivaling the large-scale destruction of "The Avengers." While Stark's mental state after the events at that film remain underdeveloped (they're more of a convenient plot point than character development), the film manages to portray a world of uncertainty and angst while still delivering something fun and entertaining.
This is biggest, boldest "Iron Man" yet. Marvel has kicked off Phase II of its Avengers films in grand fashion. It has everything the fans could want, and more, reminding us all why, out of all the Avengers, Iron Man remains on top.

It's cooling down again and that means it will be a little harder for many of you to get out of that warm bed and face the day. Do you know what can help? Consumer Reports said in a recent article that it's the perfect pair of pajamas.
In the January issue of "ShopSmart," Consumer Reports lists several websites selling only sleepwear. All of the sites meet their tough standards for privacy, contact information disclosure and service.
Channel 4's Nikki Kimbleton tested out the first site, www.Pajamagram.com. She received two of their hoodie and footie styles. One for Nikki, one for Meteorologist Richard Nunn. The site is recognized by Consumer Reports for the best place to shop if you want to give the gift of relaxation. The pj's arrived in a pretty bag complete with a bag of bath confetti and "Do Not Disturb" sign. Nikki and Richard loved them!
If you don't do well in cold weather, you may want to check out www.PajamaCity.com. Consumer Reports said this site is best for people who like to stay toasty warm, especially their feet. The styles here range from unique to crazy and fun. You can even find a sock monkey "onesie" for adults, complete with a sleep cap.
If you're looking for luxury, try www.CaroleHochman.com. This is seriously pretty sleepwear. So pretty, you may not want to take it off. The prices are what you would expect for luxury pajamas but again, it's night wear that you could almost get away with wearing out of the house.
Want to sleep sounder knowing that your purchase is making a difference? Shop at PUNJAMMIES.com. Not only do these look amazing, each is handmade from authentic Indian fabric. Plus, they're made by women recovering from forced prostitution. Proceeds help pay fair wages and support workers.
And finally, www.thecatspjs.com. Consumer Reports says these are best for whimsical prints. You'll find pj's covered with sushi, happy hour cocktails and other designs to brighten your morning. Some styles even come with matching sleep shades.

Take world-renowned chef and best-selling author Anthony Bourdain, mix him with global travels to off-the-beaten path locations, and what do you get: A recipe for a show you don't want to miss.
"Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" is a new CNN show that aims to be part cuisine, part culture program. His first show, which premieres on CNN this Sunday, April. 14th at 9:00pm Eastern, offers an inside look at the country of Myanmar.
This morning on "Starting Point," Bourdain explains what will be different about this show compared to his previous travel show.
"With CNN, I get to go to all the places that I never would have been able to go really with any other network," Bourdain says. "Places like Congo, Libya, Myanmar, would have been very, very tricky to do elsewhere. Able to go places I never would have been able to go and look at these cultures in either a bigger picture or a more narrow focus as I choose."
Bourdain also explains what was so fascinating about shooting his first episode in Myanmar.
"For me, it's an enormous and beautiful country that very, very few Westerners have seen or visited. It's been closed off from the rest of the world - a pariah state - for as long as I've been alive. Until just a little over a year ago, a Western film crew, if discovered, would have been kicked out of the country. We're really one of the first crews to have gone in and really shown a big slice, not all, but a big slice of a country that a lot of people haven't seen. It is incredibly gorgeous."
Bourdain also hopes he'll be able to do shows in other hot spots around the world, including Iran and Syria. He says it's important to balance his shows in Spain and Paris, where he says he's 'shoveling a lot of expensive food in his face,' by showing the other side.
"I make friends faster and easier than journalists," he says. "I show up looking to eat whatever you have to offer. People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice...they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get."
"Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" premieres Sunday, Apr. 14th at 9:00pm Eastern on CNN.
I was born in Barranquilla Colombia and I am living in the United states for 24 years.My family and I are your fans we love your shows and sometimes I watch your shows more than once .......but we are not happy with the two shows you made about my country.......we have beautiful beaches ,beautiful cities ,wonderful people. I was expecting a show were the people can see the beautiful country we have.In the first show in Medellin you only talked about Pablo Escobar.....come on Tony that was more than 20 years ago....Medellin is a absoluty beautiful city and you didn't show that.....Medellin is more than Escobar ......and last night we were expecting to see more about Bogota and Cali or my town Barranquilla and what about cartagena? you show only the poor areas and in Riohacha you should show more about the CABO DE LA VELA.....if I am a tourist I won't be motivated to go to colombia because your show.You forgot to tell the world my Country is safe now,and we have the best economy in South America........but last night
CNN's advertising/publicity campaign to launch Anthony Bourdain has done that man a grave disservice. They reveal him to be a show-off, a condescending visitor who can go anywhere, do anything, eat anything by remaining superior to it. I have grown to thoroughly dislike the man exhibited in these commercials. Thus, when I saw him being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer, I was prepared to dislike him. But he wasn't really dislikeable in person - though I still resent the loss of newstime to magazine time.
Anthony Bourdain: 'Parts Unknown' is simply brilliant and refreshing. It opens your mind and eyes to issues beyond food in a very subtle way. The show is very entertaining and it broadens your horizon. I love it!
Recently, I watched one of your interviews about the new show Parts Unknown. I noticed that you used the word "Pariah". There is nothing wrong in using that word per se but ethically (in my opinion) it is wrong. Especially, most of the People currently living in Tamil Nadu, India will not like the usage of that word in the context that you used in your interview. I enjoyed watching the show No Reservations and going to enjoy your new show. I bring this to your attention because you are not just a chef but you are interested in learning other cultures and cuisines.
Thanking you,
Will this be transmitted on CNN in the UK?
Ok, so please tell me that AB is just "BSing" these folks at CNN. Don't get me wrong, I love my guy when he is traveling (via his Travel Channel "No Reservations" series).
Good luck to those of us that appreciate the long admired insight and non-political aspect of what fans long for and enjoy about in our writer and dare I say "Chef".
One BIG question: Will this be on the primary CNN channel or only on CNN International? Because of my basic AT&T U-verse package, I don't get CNN International.
